Hello Clive,

Again thanks for your work. Very interesting about to short a double short.
How do you manage such an account? With Ladder its looks like normal but not with Aim or LD- Aim because its works in the opposite direction.
I have made a test with SKF (short the doubleshort financials) with ladder with bad result and also with a huge risk when financials make a big run down. (Who knows)
When you take a normal long position, zero is your limit. With short on a short or even on a doubleshort only the sky is the limit. So very,very risky.
Results over last 12 months with 20% bij a turn and 10% when ik goes in same direction (with QLD = double long qqqq) outperformed ladder and std AIM
